In identifying and recognizing teacher achievement, we sought student opinion through surveys. This gives students a voice in that process. After tallying results of our student survey, we are happy to announce that Ms. Melanie Castillo, Social Studies Teacher, was chosen by students as "Teacher of the Month" for September. This is Ms. Castillo's first year with us and we are proud to have her as a member of our staff. Please join me in congratulating Ms. Castillo at melanie2.castillo@pgcps.org

Hello Everyone, My name is Mr. Kydd and I am the new Physical Education Teacher. This is my first year as an educator. Prior to joining the CMIT family, I was employed by Maryland National Park and Planning, Parks and Recreation Department, where I served as director of kids care at College Park Youth Services. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Towson University, where I majored in Sports Management and minored in Business Administration. I enjoy coaching, reading, listening to music, DJing, and playing all types of sports such as, football, basketball, and even kickball. I believe we can strive to create and maintain an environment where your student can grow and thrive. I look forward in partnering with you all as we work together to build and secure our student’s future. Best Regards, Samuel Kydd

Q: Is CMIT North MS a public school? 

A: Yes We are a public charter school who is staffed by PGCPS teachers and administration, and support staff who work along side of a limited CLF staff. We have access to PGCPS support but also benefit from additional guidance, management and financial support from Chesapeake Light House Foundation, whose educational concept this school is based on. 

Q: Do siblings get preference in applying to CMIT?

A: The process of gaining entry to any charter school in Prince George's County is through a lottery. However, siblings of already attending CMIT students are weighted differently during the lottery process. This different weighting gives preference to siblings. 

Q: What makes CMIT different then any other school in the district? 

A: Although we are a PGCPS public charter, we are given some autonomy over curriculum. This autonomy allows us to fast track students, who are academically ready, through selected high school courses in math, foreign language, science and technology. It is that fast tracking that opens up opportunity to more advanced  coursework on the college level while still in high school.  Additionally, we offer students supports and enrichments to every student, not available at most schools. Lastly, we are a uniform school which takes away the distraction, the competition and the social stratification that is brought on by non uniform dress in a school. 

Our test scores oustrip not only county averages but also state avaerages. This, along with other metrics has made us a 5 star school. 

Q: Do you offer everything the big middle and high school's offer? 

A: Unlike many school in Maryland, we do not have a  full spectrum offerings in sports.  Instead, our focus is on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). Therefore, our sports offerings are more limited.  We offer, boys and girls soccer, basketball, girl's softball, boy's baseball and club lacrosse in the middle school. Additionally, boys and girls basketball, track/field and volleyball at the high school level. With that said we recently (2017) won the girls county basketball championship and made it to the playoffs in soccer. Our high school opened a multi-million dollar, state of the art gym complex, competitive with all schools of their size. The middle school has also added an indoor gym space.  Lastly, we do offer special educational services, but becuase we are a school of choice, the amount of service hours we can provide is limited to 7.5 hours a week, split between literacy and math. Services hours are delivered by special education teachers but are limited to literacy and math courses.
